Burrs Country Park Caravan & Motorhome Club Site,Lancashire
I wouldn’t no rmally do areview on
a clu b site but, having been a carer
for my late, wheelchair dependent
husband, I feel this one warrants some
publ icity, in that respect.
Burrs Country Park Clu b site isset
in a country park so is ideal for anyone
using awheel chairor the like to be
able to travel, direct fro m their pitch,
into lovely country sc ener y as there
are good firm tracks to get around.
The site providesdisabled facilities
and pitches are all ha rdstanding,
comprising of well-compacted gravel.
Once thro ugh the site gate, there’s
a pubon the doorstep, with easy
access into the premises. We enjoyed
a birthday meal there and ca n
wholeheartedly recommendthe food!
We walked intoBury,
approximately 1½ miles away and all
on good footpaths. Another day we
travelled in to the heart of Manchester,
via the tram. Once into the centre,
we were only 10 minutes’ wa lk from
a total delight – the Science an d
Industry Museum. The place is huge
and awhole day canbe spent there.
There are placesto eat, too, andthe
best of it is it’s free! If the weather is
dire and someone in your fami ly has
specia l needs, this is the pl ace to go.
I may not be a carer
anymore but Istill
judge sites, as such,
and Burrs Country
Park is up there,
when wanting to
give someone with
specia l needs
an interest.Stanwix Park Holiday Centre,Cumbria,Cumbria

jacuzzi, fo ot spas and hot/coldwater
experience showers. In addition to

and acafé, too. Upstairs you’ll find
two well-presented bars (no un der-
